How do you make your hardwood floors shine?

My floors are old but redone and I want to keep them as shiny as possible. Any tips? TIA!

Do you do 1 part vinegar, 3 parts water? or do you use more vinegar? Also, do you dry them after using it? Ive done vinegar/water and I end up with water spots when I let it air dry. TIA

half and half or 3 parts water to 1 vinegar. never dry them. most of the time i just use the swifter wet cloths (i know, bad).

Murphy's Oil Soap diluted in warm water. And I love the smell too!

I use the hardwood floor cleaner. It's pretty good. I haven't used the shining polish yet but my BFF did and she said her floors looked newly redone. She swears by it.
